Supporters may recall the fundraising activities of school boy Robert Foskett, who spoke at September’s National Gathering. The picture above shows Robert during his most recent meeting with FHL chairman Jim Quinn donating a further £1,955.

FHL are delighted to announce the appointment of Brendan Metcalfe as FHL’s new Executive Director.

Peter Rand writes,

"I am delighted to welcome Brendan to the FHL team. This is a crucial time in our development as we build on the foundations of our first 10 years and move forward to the next ten and beyond. I am sure you will join me in praying for Brendan and wishing him every success in his new role.”

FHL was, once again, immensely privileged to be invited to take part in the ‘Holy Land Coordination’, a pilgrimage, organised by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales. Attended by bishops from around the world the annual pilgrimage demonstrates active support to the Christian community in the land of Jesus’ birth. On this occasion it was our Chairman, Jim Quinn, who joined the group of visiting bishops which included FHL Patron Christopher Chessun Bishop of Southwark.

As a member of the ‘Holy Land Coordination’ FHL Chairman, Jim Quin, was able to see first-hand the lives of Christians in Israel and the particular challenges they face. The trip included stays in the Israeli towns of Haifa and Nazareth.
